About this mod

Anyone who played through the Dark Brotherhood quest in Oblivion is familiar with the Purification. This isn't just another Poisoned Apples mod. Much of the focus is on making the use of the apples rewarding and immersive. I hope you like it :)

-For those having trouble finding the camp-

Fast travel to Falkreath, turn 180 degrees and run down the road, away from Falkreath, until you reach the intersection. Make a sharp left there, and you'll be on a road that inclines until it intersects with a higher road from the right. Make a sharp right onto that higher road, and go until you see the camp on your left.

-Updates-

Just put up the new version with some suggested changes. There's now a 100% chance of harvesting one human flesh from apple victims, and a 50% chance of harvesting two. Also, using the dialogue will now slightly increase your speechcraft skill. Finally, I added the sound files needed for some of the custom dialogue that I accidentally left out of the first version. So, it's pretty much a must have update. Thanks! :)

***I forgot to include the new BSA in version 1.2, so if anybody downloaded 1.2, they should replace it with 1.21. Sorry :(  ***

-Description-

Purification of Skyrim is basically a love letter to the the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood quest. You'll start by finding the body of a mysterious individual, and (hopefully) walk away with the lost recipe for Poisoned Apples, the tool used in the Dark Brotherhood's third Purification.

At its core, the mod is very simple. It allows you to:

-Craft Poisoned Apples at any cookpot using one apple (red or green, although the crafted item will always be red), thirteen deathbell, and one human flesh. You can only do this after acquiring the recipe. You can now purchase human flesh from Babette in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary near Falkreath.(If it turns out that human flesh is still too hard to come by to make using the apples viable, let me know and I'll consider changing the recipe.)

-Offer the apples to the people of Skyrim via a dialogue option. 

-Slip them into the pockets of unsuspecting victims using Skyrim's pickpocket system.


Obviously, the pickpocket option is directly tied to your pickpocket skill and overall ability to be sneaky. Thieves will be good at this, which is why this method will not work for members of the Thieves' Guild. It should be noted that I wasn't aware of the existence of the "poisoned" perk until a couple of days ago, so my mod works completely independent of it and does not require the player to have it. From my understanding of the perk, it wouldn't allow the apple to have the effect that I had in mind anyway, but I could be wrong about that.



The availability of the dialogue is directly tied to your speechcraft skill level and relationship with the victim.

Speechcraft Skill ==

0-59 == Dialogue will only appear for friends or better.

60-99 == Acquaintances are added, which means you'll see the dialogue for most people in Skyrim. I'm considering raising this requirement to 70 or 80. Let me know what you guys think.

100+ == Adds enemies to the stack. So basically, if they're not attacking you, you'll get the dialogue... with some exceptions...

Basically, the dialogue will not appear for any person who would not accept the apple, or that the apple would not kill. This includes vampires (or any undead), essentials (get a mod that removes essential status from characters and you should see it), and anyone that you would not be able to talk into taking it (speech skill not high enough). It will also not appear for people who are currently following you. If you want to give one to a follower you'll need to dismiss them first.

The mod includes HalkHogan's excellent 2K apple textures (used with permission, link to his mod in the credits) for normal red and green apples, plus a slightly modified version for the Poisoned variety.

There is a bit more to the mod than what I've mentioned here, but I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise :D

I hope you enjoy the mod :)
